Lets have a talk about how safe you really feel on the internet... #foxacid
Through recent research I have discovered the term "foxacid" which refers to a tool developed by the NSA to hack into targeted systems by impersonate legitimate web sites. That is all fine if the target is legitimate and the attacker is trust worthy. The image below does not instill that confidence in me with the main ingredient being sadism. There is also an issue of this tool falling in the wrong hands, how would the average person defend themselves?
Let me know your thoughts an opinions in the comments below. I have personally been researching how to tighten up my own security protocols. I downloaded qubes but am having trouble using it, anyone have experience?
Thanks!

I have been using Tails. It was really easy to setup and if you clone the OS you can run an encrypted persistant storage and secure all your files and App data. Also the OS leaves no trace the only strorage used is your RAM.
I read somewhere that it was compromised, will have to find the source.
There were some security holes in version 2.6. The 2.7 update resolved all of the issues.
Has to do with all of the exit nodes being comprimised...
